SWEET PEPPER PITAS
Here's a quick, colorful, grab-and-go pita lunch that gets rave reviews from all ages, says Brigid King in Macomb, Michigan. "I tweaked this meatless, versatile recipe years ago to lighten it and punch up the taste," she notes. TIP: For Italian flavor, add pizza sauce and chopped pepperonis to the cheese and peppers, suggests Brigid King. A little salmon or some bacon bits mixed in the cream cheese make other tasty options.

[email protected]These were a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a different type of pepper. Next time I'll use a milder pepper.
